Why is it I feel like I am the one that should make this thread?

Anyways, the current republik des Finlandt is 90 years old or something today. Wowzers! That's about as old as my grandpa!

Post pictures and stuff related to Finland to celebrate.

So why exactly do you find Finland so irresistibly appealing?

I expect it whenever anyone says anything, haha.

I really wish that "Finndependence day" was the official name, because I enjoy it.

I went to Finland once, and I got chilly and saw some electric car and a statue of a ruler with bird poop on it. Then I runned down the street where my mommy grabbed me and shouted "No!" but I runned then it died

I went to Finland it was raining. I asked Kroko to meet up with me but he made some stupid excuse that he was busy or something like that. So I met up with a friend instead. What a noob.

It's also the 200th anniversary of the Finnish War! ... though it started in February 2008 but it's commemorative FGR comic time nevertheless!

You should come again, only this time we'd meet up and it wouldn't be raining!
Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.

^^why is that finn not using a finnish rifle... how very unpatriotic to shoose a swedish rifle over one made by finnboys for finnboys

hey finland... here's a tip... the muzzle should not be pointed towards your own head... it should be pointed towards russia

That's Simo Häyhä, best soldier ever.

From Wikipedia, it says he uses a Finnish variant, M/28, of the Soviet Mosin-Nagant rifle
2008-12-06, 3:25 PM #16
that rifle is a swedish mauser and that is not Simo Häyhä

the M28 looks a little more like the M39 i posted earlier
